As possibly cringeworthy as this development is... it is more interesting that the slut adventures of Teddi and the tedious Pandora, so I'll give it that. Granted, a really low bar indeed, but at least something is happening - no spinning wheels for a change, but rather actual progression! - although doesn't seem like there was remotely enough build up for this to be a pay-off.

The "Big" comparison is quite right, but (it has been ages since I've seen it, so please pardon any mistakes) that movie also had some really troubling ramifications if one is to really think about it, plus it is a product of its late '80's time; and the kid was naïve but not so mindnumbingly idiotic as the frequent characterisation of Abby has been.
